There are thousands of claims still pending in the bureau of pensions that wen? tiled irom tea to twenty years ago. i Col. Clark 8. Edwards, 5th Me., of "Bethel, while in the army daring the re­ bellion, wrote home to his wife 457 letters, which she saved, and most of them are in existence now, Dfeqy give a good history of the war. If the New York Times had been able to find some cases that even looked sus­ picious what a hullabaloo it woald have raised, and how all the other papers would have started oat fraud banting in their neighborhoods. Their silence is very eloquent. | Why is it dishonorable to repudiate the payment of a bond bat praiseworthy economy to repudiate a pension pay­ ment? Why is it that a debt owed for gold or greenbacks is sacred, while that owed for a wrecked life is something for which there is no moral obligation. | Judge Cbas. D. Long, of the Michigan supreme court, delivered a beautiful ad­ dress at Cairo, HI., May 30. His audi­ ence numbered thousands. Soldiers and the friends of soldiers from far and near gathered to hear him, because of his bold and brave arr&ingement of the present pension legislation. For the week ending May 26 the pen­ sion bureau issued 1,559 certificates, of which 223, or aboat one seventh the en­ tire number, were for original claims arising under the old laws, and 456, or over one-fourth, were under the act of Jane 27. The total number of original certificates issued was 815, or aboat one for every six of the 5,000 employes of the bureau. The main issue in the Georgia guber­ natorial campaign seems to be whether a man shall be nominated solely on the strength oi hie record in the rebel army, or his competitor, who was too young to go into the rebel army, but avows principles identical with those who did go. The younger man is preferable in many respects, but the strong objection to him is that he did not actually serve in the rebel army. Yet Atlanta assumes to want the G. A. R. national encamp­ ment to meet there. The will of the late Gen. H. W. Slocum has been made public. The value of the estate is approximately $1,000,000. The will is a very short document. In it only two public bequests are made. It directs that f5,000 to be paid to the Children's Aid Society and $5,000 to the Society *for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. All the residue of the estate, both real and personal, is left to Mrs. Slocum and the three children. The gen­ eral's watch, swords and private letters and papers are left to H. W. Slocum, Jr. Gallant old Gen. Sickles, although a Democratic Congressman, does not in­ dorse the pension policy of the adminis­ tration. In responding to a toast'recent­ ly Gen. Sickles said that since coming to Washington, as a public man, one of his chief occupations has been defending the defenders of the Union and keeping them from being put out of what he considered their just positions. He had boen in the city but a little while, be said, when a man came to him from the navy yard, from which he said he had been discharg­ ed without cause. "I examined his papers," said the General, "and found that he was one of my old men who had been with me through twelve battles. I looked the matter up in the department and though there . was nothing else against the old fellow it was said on re­ liable authority that he had voted for Harrison at the lastjelection. And I just said to the head of his bureau: 'As long as that man was with me during the war and through all those twelve battles, I never asked him what his politics were, and I think it a little too late to com­ mence now. To my mind any man who has been through the army or navy and honorably discharged has a right to any politics he chooses." Between the Thirteenth and Fifteenth regiments, 111. Vol.* Inf'y, there exists a spirit of rivalry as to which was muster­ ed into service first. As far as the Col­ onels were concerned it is conceded that John B. Wyman, of the Thirteenth, was ranking colonel of the three years' volun­ teer service, but as to the mustering in the rank and file there seems to be a misty uncertainty. Each year the mat­ ter comes up and every man of the Thir­ teenth was sworn in in the forenoon and the Fifteenth in the afternoon, while in the Fifteenth things are reversed. The regiments have their reunions on the same day. This year the Thirteenth met at Dixon, the Fifteenth at Belvidere. At Dixon the old matter came up. "Boys," said a member, "let us get ahead of the Fifteenth to-day. They al­ ways wire their congratulations first. Let us show them we were not only first in the service, but that we are first in everything." No sooner said than dons; the secre­ tary was duly ordered and a smile of when lo! a small image appeared at the door, extending a yellow envelope. The words it cont ained were few but pregnant. "The Fifteenth, the first regiment mus­ tered into the United Suites volunteer service, extends congratulations," etc. There was an awful silence followed by a few soul-stirring and hair-raising re­ marks. It is safe to say that the Thir­ teenth will stay up over night at the next reunion in order to get ahead. peace spread OTer the assembled veterans B'y. Pithy, Pointed wad Pertinent. Late advices from Hawaii say the friends of the ex-queen are still waiting for Mr. Cleveland to setup the old throne again. Well, if they can get any satis­ faction out of« aiting they are just that much ahead of Mr. Cleveland. It is said that as soon as Mr. Benedict gets the last republican out of the Government Printing Office he will rec­ ommend that the establishment be put under civil service law, in order to keep the democrats in. What ever else may be said of him It cannot be denied that Croker, the ex- Tammany boss, is an expert in selecting the time to disappear. If there were more honest and fearless newspapers in the far southern states the administration would not be able to con­ trol them as easily as it does. The man who pretends to believe that rent should be abolished never makes a desirable tenant. If there were better men la Congress the atmosphere in the Capitol, about which much complaint has been made might be more wholesome. 'Pennoyer had sense enough not to try to explain the result in Oregon. The receivership and assignee business continue to hold their own as thriving American Industries. The Senate investigating committee handles its witnesses as though ft were awfully afraid that they might tell some* thing about the sugar scandal: The seventeen year locusts have ap­ peared, but they are comparatively harmless this year. The locusts will not try to compete with the democratic party in the destructive line. The Senator who will not prove himself innocent of complicity in the sugar scan­ dal may find himself adjudged guilty by public opinion. There is no doubt about the belief of many democratic Senators in protection --for themselves and the sugar trust. Never before in the history of the Senate has any one man been given the extraordinary power wielded by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas. It looks as though the democrats were preparing to pat Jones forward as a scapegoat, Every Republican of prominence has been a supporter of bimetallism from the birth of the party, recognising that to be the only true theory of international finance. In view of recent developements it would seem that the scepter of demo­ cratic authority haj passed from Csar Cleveland to Czar Havemeyer. Because of his moral deficiency Con gressman Breckinridge, of Ky., will not be allowed to take cha,rge of the General Deficiency Bill in the House, as his position on the Appropriation committee should give him the right to do. Senator Gray is reported to be risk of the sugar trust investigation. Nothing strange about that. The testimony taken has been sufficient to nauseate any honest man. When Secretary Carlisle retires to make room for a Republican financier the sugar trust ought to give him a job. A straw showing unmistakably the trend of public opinion is the singing in concert Halls in democratic New York of topical songs abusing Mr. Cleveland and the democratic Congress. The concert hall singer doesn't dare to go against Dublic opinion. The tiger hunt in the jungles of Man' hattan differ from all its predecessors during the last dozen years in that it is out for skins, with hunters who know how to get them. The fool who upsets the boat has be­ gun his summer outings. As usual death is his side partner. Every election held goes the same way. Democracy is no longer traveling on the same train with success. Congressman Lirauil Eli Quigg size up the Democratic majority in Congress correctly when he said it was created by and controlled by the socialistic seuti- mept of hostility towards everybody who seems to be a little bit prosperous. Public Printer Benedict removed 700 Republicans from the Government Print­ ing Office on the plea of economy. Now, he is filling their places with Democrats on the sly. There are men in the Senate who be­ lieve in paraphrasing Gen. Grant's fa­ mous "Let no guilty man escape" into "Let evsiy guilty Senator escape." _____ i-VV' __ ,;_-5,T3k 1'" Half Bates to Cleveland.

Alter many yean of more or cusabie neglect, the statute of Horace Greeley was unveiled in New York May 30. Shortly after the death of Mr. Greeley, it was proposed that the printers of the country erect an appropriate and lasting tribute to his memory. The nucleus erf a hind was formed, but, in the industrial and financial depression of 1873 and 1874, which followed, the project lan­ guished. Now it is an accomplished re­ sult, through the persistent efforts oI the typographical Union No. 6, of which Mr. Greeley was president. While Horace Greeley was not a soldier in the strict military sense of the there was an appropriateness in the veiling of his statute on Memorial Day. He was eminently a fighter. When once he had espoused any cause which made for the betterment oi his fellow , men, he gave no Quarter and asked none. While he was picturesque, almost if not ' quJte to the point of eccentricity, he pos­ sessed a wonderful insight into public affairs. There was never any doubt re­ garding his position on any public ques­ tion. Friends and enemies were never at ; a loss where to find him, and he fought a fight to the bitter end. It is difficult in ^ this generation or the genemtibn in which he was at the zenith of his power, to recall any individual whose mere per­ sonalty exerted such a powerful influence upon the people of his time. That his ca­ reer was not without grave mistakes, 1 his most ardeik friends will not deny; that he grandly compensated for errors ^ of judgment by his fearless and effective battling for the cause of human rights, his enemies will, at this distance frankly concede. It has been said that the only personal ambition in which Horace Greeley suc­ ceeded was that of becoming a great editor. While this is possibly true, it Is due to the memory of the man who was so appropriately honored, to record the additional truth, that his personal am­ bitions, aside from the one in which he achieved unparalleled success, were very few. His mission was to enlighten the people, and if he departed from the strict line of this mission into the by-ways of personal ambition, for a little, he nobly and in one notable instance, Madly atoned for it. In the oncoming generations, as men i pause reverently at ths statue of the great publicist in Greeley Square, they will revere his memory for the fight he so gallantly and effectually waged for Ms fellows. His so called errors of judgment < almost forgotten by the men of today, will be shrouded in oblivion. ^ « V . '.sir SI -AV 49w4 Bights of Newapapeife. The Senate of the United States may as well learn now as later that the status of the newspaper profession is as definite as that of the law, the priesthood or medicine, and that its rights and privi­ leges will be as stoutly maintained. Certain newspaper correspondents have received confidential communications as to facts of vital public interest. They have published the facts, as it was their duty to do, and they have rigidly re­ spected the confidence of those who gave the news. The Senate is trying to make these men reveal the confidential sources of their information. Because of their re­ fusal to do so the Senate has decided to. have them indicted, tried and punished under a law which is probably unconsti­ tutional and certainly monstrous. Meantime the lawyers in the Senate will do well to reflect upon what they are doing. They would be aghast at the suggestion that they, as law/ers, might be compelled to betray the confidences of their clients, or that physicians might be made to reveal the secrets of the sick room, or that a priest might be forced to .rehearse the sacred communications made to him in relief of a wounded con­ science. Yet in none of these cases is professional privilege with respect to con­ fidential communications more vitally necessary than in the case of the news- paper man. The newspaper is a public servant whose service is so essential to the main­ tenance of liberty that nearly a century ago Jefferson said: "Better a free press without a free goverment than a free government without a free press." If the newspaper is not permitted to guard its confidence it must fail in one at its most important functions. It must be shut off from precisely that kind oi iu- formation which it is most imperatively necessary in the public interest to secare and publish. Filled with a high sense of Its public ob­ ligations the newspaper press insist* up­ on a privilege in this matter as broad aa that granted to other professions. For that privilege it will contend without flinching, and if the Senate insists upon making the issue the battle may as well be fought oat now aa hereafter.--M*r York World. • f. it, ; •,« 1 /IfjfS •:A Xisaa Thau HalfSBates to Colorado.
